An ectopic ureter is a very rare congenital defect in dogs with few cases reported in the literature. In this study, we reported an eight-month-old dog presenting with urinary incontinence and perivalvar dermatitis, her clinical sign was complicated by left kidney hydronephrosis. The ultrasonography and the intravenous pyelogram (I.V.P.) imaging revealed a diagnosis of the ectopic insertion of the ureter into the vagina. The dog underwent the neoureterostomies, a surgical approach was successfully used to treat the congenital ectopic ureter in this case. In conclusion, surgical repair is an effective treatment and provides an excellent outcome for dogs with a congenital ureter defect. This surgical technique can resolve urinary incontinence and can use as a treatment option to prevent further urinary bladder infection and to reduce the complications of renal tissue-damaging from the ectopic ureter.
